"SERIOUS" SAM BARRETT & JAMES THE FANG
We welcome back Serious Sam & James The Fang for another great night of live music. FREE ENTRY
Serious and the Fang’s mix of the traditional tunes and their own blend seamlessly, it’s Americana in its truest form – steeped in a sad heart, the weary and the downtrodden, it feels like an album with the spirit of calloused hands and a life spent following a plough. It’s from a different time. (Ameriana UK)
This track just demonstrates an amazing musical ability. The sustained brilliance of this playing is really something to behold. BOB HARRIS BBC Radio 2
”Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English.”
